Washington Post – by John Paul Stevens

John Paul Stevens served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court from 1975 to 2010. This essay is excerpted from his new book, “Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution.”

Following the massacre of grammar-school children in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012, high-powered weapons have been used to kill innocent victims in more senseless public incidents. Those killings, however, are only a fragment of the total harm caused by the misuse of firearms. Each year, more than 30,000 people die in the United States in firearm-related incidents. Many of those deaths involve handguns.   Continue reading “Justice Stevens: The five extra words that can ‘fix’ the Second Amendment”

Pastor Rick Wood hands out food to the homeless in BirminghamThink Progress- by Scott Keyes

A pastor determined to live out the Bible’s dictate that we feed the poor was shut down by local police because he didn’t have a permit to serve food.

Twice a month, Rick Wood, a pastor at The Lord’s House of Prayer in Oneonta, Alabama, gets in his truck and drives around Birmingham with more than a hundred hot dogs and bottles of water, handing them out to the homeless. Wood has been serving those in need for the past six years because he wants to put Matthew 25:35-40 — “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,” a scripture verse he has plastered on the side of his truck — into action.   Continue reading “Pastor Blocked From Feeding The Homeless Because He Doesn’t Have A $500 Permit”

Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins,

After recently hearing about your comments in regards to the Bureau of Land Management agents during their seizure of Bundy’s cattle in southern Nevada and the referral the citizens of Utah that are believers in God, that have great family values and live by the Constitution of the United States and support the Bill of Rights that the forefathers of this once great country wrote, I feel it is my duty to respond to your ignorant comments.   Continue reading “Open Letter to Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins”

Via WRSA comment just now:

I have assets on the ground, the State Police are watching the I15, but not acting over-zealous. There are NO roadblocks or Checkpoints set up currently. About 1000 pro-liberty folks onsite. Including Militia, IIIpers, Oathkeepers and locals.

And for those traveling, NV STATE Law prohibits long guns with one in the chamber. Just secure your arms and don’t be an idiot.   Continue reading “Update On “Car Stops” And The Bundy Ranch Scene: Sandman Sends”

Washington Post – by Adam Goldman and Julie Tate

When U.S. Special Operations forces raided several houses in the Iraqi city of Ramadi in March 2006, two Army Rangers were killed when gunfire erupted on the ground floor of one home. A third member of the team was knocked unconscious and shredded by ball bearings when a teenage insurgent detonated a suicide vest.

In a review of the nighttime strike for a relative of one of the dead Rangers, military officials sketched out the sequence of events using small dots to chart the soldiers’ movements. Who, the relative asked, was this man — the one represented by a blue dot and nearly killed by the suicide bomber?   Continue reading “Inside the FBI’s secret relationship with the military’s special operations”

Many questions remain unanswered about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, his CIA-linked uncle Ruslan Tsarni, and the FBI slaying of his friendDissident Voice -by Dave Lindorff

One thing that the FBI does really well is exonerate itself. As I wrote earlier, the bureau’s agents have shot 151 people over the course of the last two decades, killing more than half of them, yet in its own internal reviews, the FBI has exonerated those agents all 151 times — a perfect record of blamelessness that even some of the country’s most gun-happy police departments (even in Albuquerque, NM) can’t claim.   Continue reading “Government Exonerates FBI’s Lax Investigation of Suspected Boston Bomber”

The video below is part of the public comments during an emergency Moapa Valley Town Board Meeting regarding Cliven Bundy’s standoff with armed agents on his Nevada Ranch that has grazing rights on public land. A cowboy and friend of the Bundy family warns that this is much bigger than this ranch, and tells the Bureau of Land Management that if they fire the first shot, “we will fire the rest!”   Continue reading “Cowboy: ‘They’ll fire the next shot heard ’round the world, and WE will fire the rest!’”

Freedom Outpost – by David Risselada

“We need to have a civilian national security force that is just as well trained, just as well funded as the military to meet the national security objectives that we have set.” Presidential candidate Barrack Hussein Obama, 2008

America, President Obama has succeeded in the creation of this national security force, and it is the goons of the Bureau of Land Management that are armed to the teeth, surrounding one farmers grazing land. These people are not loyal to the U.S. Constitution, for they have taken no loyalty oath to any ideal that we cherish. They are loyal to their masters, the monstrous leviathan that we call the federal government. If 200 armed agents surrounding one farmer’s land aren’t enough to snap the eternally asleep into full awareness of the dire situation we face in this nation, then I don’t know what is. If you are one of the “aware” but choose to say nothing, you may as well go to sleep because if you say nothing now, you will remain silent later.   Continue reading “Nevada: A Crisis not going to Waste as UN Small Arms Treaty Advances”

Records indicate San Diego police covered for convicted cop [KGTV-TV]The Raw Story  – by Arturo Garcia

Records suggest officials with the San Diego Police Department moved to cover up a former officer’s sexual misconduct out of fear of negative press coverage, KGTV-TV reported on Friday.

According to a court transcript, former Police Chief William Lansdowne told Executive Assistant Chief David Ramirez in a confidential meeting, “When the reporters … get it in the news, we have a problem” regarding reports that in 1997, then-Officer Anthony Arevalos had forced a mentally unstable woman to perform “sex acts” on herself with his baton, as Arevalos took pictures.   Continue reading “Documents point to San Diego police officials protecting cop with multiple sexual assaults”

The Week

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and his family are featured in a worshipful profile in this month’s Washingtonian magazine.

It’s the sort of adoring journalistic exercise reserved for only the most handsome of the power elite. In it you can find out details about the Carney dog (a cousin to presidential pooch Sonny!), and how much the press secretary’s tie costs ($135).   Continue reading “Obama’s press secretary decorates home with Soviet propaganda”

Who the hell are we kidding!  if I’m not mistaken, was it not the Bundy’s who called for the militia?  I’m sure you all agree, he called for the militia not Mary F’ING Poppins, right?

If I sound pissed off, that’s because I am!  You may not be able to hear me but I’m swearing up a storm right now!

You all know the militia will not be the ones screaming at the BLM, that’s not their job, they are there to protect and preserve the piece, not to be the aggressors.  You know, I learned in history that Patrick Henry was confronted with these same Mary Poppins in congress when the British soldiers were forging ahead on this land with their aggression.  This would not be America if wasn’t for men like Patrick Henry who told those scared little rats in congress that they had no choice left, “It’s Do or Die gentlemen” to put it bluntly.   Continue reading “They need Mary F’ING Poppins”
